Using st to display images , w3m not integrating with ueberzug

Hi there,

So I had an issue that I didn't recall before , and it was that I was not able to display images in my terminal `st`
I'm using the `lukesmith` `st` build , but nevertheless I was always able to display images in `rangerfm` with this setup.

Note: I use suckless `dwm` for X server

So after setting up `w3m-img` I was able to by using other terminal emulator (`uxterm`) , to visualize these images , but I use `st` and wanted to set it up this way.

So I have installed `ueberzug` with `pip3 install ueberzug` and changed it in

vi ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf
set preview_images true
set preview_images_method ueberzug

rangerfm works great,
Now tried in w3m by

w3m [url=http://www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]
# press o
Use external image viewer                                                  (*)YES  ( )NO
External command to display image                                          [ueberzug            ]
                                                                           [OK]

then I

w3m [url=http://www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]

And its not working unfortunately , I get no errors but the image is not shown.

Anyone here sucessfull integrating `w3m` and `ueberzug` ?

Thanks
